Fashion's Night Out. Below 14th St. (NYC)
You can take the uptown route, do the Meatpacking or you could stick to what we like to call the triangle.
Billy Reid, 54 Bond Street:
Adding his own brand of Southern hospitality to Fashion’s Night Out, the Billy Reid store at the Bowery Lane Theater will keep its doors open late for an evening shopping event from 6pm-11pm. The store will serve beverages by Pabst Blue Ribbon and Woodford Reserve as customers are treated to a live performance by The Greg Spradlin Outfit. Known for his authentic and raw guitar playing style, Spradlin’s bluesy Southern rock is the perfect complement to an evening spent in the Billy Reid flagship store. Billy Reid himself will then join the band for a special performance to cap off the evening’s events.
Odin 199 at Lafayette St:
The Soho menswear boutique, Odin, know for its well curated selection of emerging contemporary menswear labels will host CFDA Fashion Fund finalist Albert Esquivel and Swedish brand/art collective Our Legacy as part of their contribution to Fashion’s Night Out on September 10. Esquivel will be in person with an intimate capsule preview of his footwear line as well have trace shoes on hand for custom hand made orders. Odin is the official launch retailer for Our Legacy and to celebrate, the designers and artists behind the label will have a photography and art display of their most recent work. Hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, and special giveaways will be available for guests as they shop from one of Soho’s definitive menswear boutiques.
Pas de Deux at 328 E 11th St: Fashion's Night Out will present the unique opportunity for consumers to meet their favorite designers. East Village boutique, Pas de Deux will not only have designers Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos of Shipley & Halmos and Richard Chai of his own namesake label, but all three designers will be exclusively available to customers for personal styling sessions. Shipley & Halmos will start the evening with an appearance at 6PM and offer styling advice and spend time with their customers enjoying cocktails and refreshments. Richard Chai will follow later in the evening to greet guests and provide his distinct sartorial perspective. The evening's focus on personal style will allow for an exciting convergence between designer and their customers.
and off to the BK, maybe...well why not.
Shipley & Halmos
Inspired by a summer spent navigating the newer, more safe bike lanes of New York City, Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos of Shipley & Halmos have mapped a bike trek tour of the major retailers that carry their brand in Manhattan and Brooklyn for Fashion’s Night Out on September 10. Staring out at downtown boutique, Pas de Deux, Sam and Jeff will participate in a forty minute styling session with customers, and then venture on a progressive bike tour to Barney’s CO-OP in Chelsea and Soho, Odin in Soho, and Bird in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to meet with shoppers and retailers as well as promote alternative forms of eco-conscious transportation. At Bird, Jeff and Sam will participate in a charitable dunk tank contest with Vena Cava at their block party contribution to Fashion’s Night Out. The bicycles will be courtesy of Bowery Lane Bicycles, a purveyor of vintage-inspired bicycles handmade in New York City with American steel, located at 55-59 Chrystie Street. Sam and Jeff will have beers in tow as they explore the many neighborhoods that make New York City a distinct destination for shopping.

Fashion's Night Out 2009.
via WWD - Considering its snowballing support, New York City’s
Fashion’s Night Out could turn out to be one monumental shop-till-you-drop party.
At the latest count, 700 stores across the five boroughs are participating by staying open until 11 p.m., recruiting designers, models and celebrities, and staging rock performances, Broadway acts, cook-ins, fashion exhibits, makeovers, style seminars and even sewing lessons. Twelve countries also are staging their versions of the event, but New York is taking the lead.
“Little did I think, when the idea of Fashion’s Night Out was first dreamed up this past March during the Paris collections, that we would have over 700-and-counting retailers, designers and brands joining us,” said Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour. “There is so much planned that we could shop till dawn and still not see and do everything.”
“Fashion’s Night Out is that rare opportunity to meet the person behind the label,” said Steven Kolb, CFDA executive director.
The Sept. 10 event — created by the Council of Fashion Designers of America, NYC & Company, the City of New York and Vogue — is geared to celebrate fashion, spur the economy and help consumers feel less guilt about shopping during the recession.
A new Web site, fashionsnightout.com/retailers, lists everything that’s in store for the night so people can choose where to go based on their favorite designer or brand. There are also daily updates on Fashion’s Night Out’s Facebook page and Twitter.
Fashion’s Night Out, considered the city’s largest-ever retail event, supports charity. Forty percent of the proceeds from a Fashion’s Night Out T-shirt will support The September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center. The NYC AIDS fund will benefit from a clothing drive Sept. 10 to 12 sponsored by IMG at various retail and public locations.
The list of personal appearances includes Manolo Blahnik, Thom Browne, Tory Burch, Roberto Cavalli, Francisco Costa, Frédéric Fekkai, Alberta Ferretti, Patricia Field, Carolina Herrera, Tommy Hilfiger, Derek Lam, Nanette Lepore, Trish McEvoy, Isaac Mizrahi, Kate Mulleavy, Josie Natori, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Oscar de la Renta, Narciso Rodriguez, Lela Rose, Rachel Roy, Maria Sharapova, Elie Tahari, Diane von Furstenberg, Alexander Wang, Yeohlee, David Yurman, Lauren Bush, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Cindy Crawford, Lynda Carter, Hugh Jackman, Karolina Kurkova, Liev Schreiber, Stephanie Seymour and Ivanka Trump.

Insider: Megan Maguire Steele.
Style is in the genes. (Chi Chi Maguire & Megan Maguire Steele at Gold Bar)name: Megan Maguire Steele
occupation: publicist and owner of Maguire Steele
hometown: Cherry Hill, NJ
homebase: Soho/Little Italy/Chinatown (only Manhattanites know exactly where this is)
how many shows/events are you doing this fashion week?
3 Fashion’s Night Out events, 2 fashion shows, 1 dinner and 2 after parties
is there anything you always find yourself wanting (or at least saying that you will) to do different this season than how you did last season? Every season there are little changes that can be made to tighten the system. Primarily, we strive to challenge the boundaries and formats of the presentations, runway shows or events that we produce. Each season, we innovate to stimulate dialogue and move the brands forward so the means of execution must always service that premise. I love the performance quality of a fashion show and the orchestration that accompanies it which is akin to the strategies of fine art.
three things that comes into your head right before "cue -music"/before 1st model walks out?
Check list of reporters and TV crews that need to get back stage immediately following the show.
Check list of celebs in attendance who still need to be photographed with the designer/designers.
Note reviewers facial reactions as looks come out.
three lifesavers for you during fashion week?
My husband, Timothy Uriah Steele.
My all star staff – go team Maguire Steele!
Organization, double-checking, triple-checking, cross-checking – you get the idea – leave no stone unturned.
three things people probably don't know about you:
1) I have an MFA in Painting from Rhode Island School of Design.
2) Growing up, I went to sailing and racing camp.
3) I have a black standard poodle named Betty Midnight (Everyone knows this because her pictures dominate my facebook wall. At nine months, you can already see her modeling potential.) Tim and I want to get another standard poodle, a red and name him Butchy Cleaver. Betty Midnight and Butchy Cleaver – what a duo.
what's your summer cocktail du jour? Pabst Blue Ribbon, Woodford Reserve, Svedka grape vodka with a splash of grape soda (because it tastes like candy), vodka soda with a splash of grapefruit (because it’s very refreshing).
